Display Date on Chart
Hello all,
Is there a way to link a chart to a cell on a spreadsheet that contains the date? What I want to do is generate weekly charts on production data, and pick up the date that's put in a cell and display it either in the chart title or near it. Can that be done? Thanks, Brian |

I tried what you suggest but I only see what I typed, =$g$1 which is the cell that contains the date. I used a rectangle shape. I had tried this already with a text box as well, it didn't work either. Thanks, Brian -- |

You can link cell contents to your chart. This link shows you how to make a dynamic title that is linked to a cell. http://processtrends.com/pg_chart_dy...hart_title.htm Kelly "diablo" wrote in message ...
